April Fool's Day is usually lots of fun around here. Last year we all came in to discover our desks, and everything on them, had been covered in aluminum foil. I wish I had taken pictures, but alas, you'll just have to imagine the funniness of it.
So this year, I'm walking in to the office with Lane and I say to him, "Do you think everything is covered in foil?" and he has a quizzical look on his face. I remind him it's April Fool's and he sighs heavily, "Oh boy, I wonder what happened this year." So we walk in the door and see a ladder leaning against the elevator. "I wonder what they needed a ladder for?" Lane says. "That," I say:
Someone had moved Mike's entire desk to the small ledge above the front door. They moved his monitor, computer, his trinkets and pictures--they even bothered to connect his computer to the internet!
It was pretty awesome. Thinking this was the only April Fool's joke, I walk into my office only to discover I, too, had been pranked:
Everything I have hung around my desk--pictures, posters, comics, articles, calendar--had been pinned upside down. I practically got vertigo looking around at everything on my walls! I had a good laugh about that one. I have to give props to the April Fool's Fairy; I think he (or she) did a pretty good job this year. I don't care what other people say; I like April Fool's Day :)

That's pretty awesome! How they hell did they get everything up the ledge!?
When we came in, there was a step-ladder leaning against the wall in the lobby. It's funnier to see it without the ladder, though... :)
It appears that someone is picking on my little boy. Don't make me come down there and twist ears! I know that it is always the most talented and gifted that get picked on, but I will not stand for this kind of disrespect--After all, I've been told from at least one source that MY SON practically runs your business single-handedly. You have been warned....(Great gag--I loved it!)
You're right, of course. I have a theory that this is why Mike's desk is still up there! This way, when a potential client walks in, they see that we properly put Mike above everyone else in the company. His desk is the first thing inside the door, and as a result they've been taking out their checkbooks almost immediately!
"Wow, you have Mike himself stationed right over the front doorway? How about if I just write this check out for $14 million?"
